Chinese Cup Auctioned for Record-Breaking $36M
A rare Ming-era cup has fetched a record-breaking $36m (£22m) at auction in Hong Kong on Tuesday. The porcelain cup decorated with a painting of a rooster, hen and chicks was made in the late 15th Century. The auction is being closely watched by investors for signs of recovery in China's volatile high-end art market. Auction house Sotheby's said the previous record for Chinese porcelain was set in 2010, when a vase sold for $32.4m. |
